We present a rare case of an adult male patient that was admitted with severe lower gastrointestinal bleeding, requiring multiple blood transfusions. The patient's medical history and the laboratory tests performed led to the misdiagnosis of a congenital Abernethy malformation. We present a rare case, discussing the reasons for the misdiagnosis and we conclude that management of clinical data and imaging are highly important to discard these types of congenital malformations that can mimic a portal hypertension condition.info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessbyhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/1.4552015GASTROENTEROLOGY & HEPATOLOGY67 / 79 = 0.8482015Q4T3info:eu-repo/semantics/otherinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionLaborda, AUniversidad de Zaragoza(orcid)0000-0002-0137-3672Guirola, JA(orcid)0000-0002-0113-5121Medrano, JUniversidad de Zaragoza(orcid)0000-0002-3105-3442Simón, MÁUniversidad de Zaragoza(orcid)0000-0003-2041-3147Ioakeim, I(orcid)0000-0002-6518-749Xde Gregorio, MÁ.Universidad de Zaragoza(orcid)0000-0002-5618-75191010770Universidad de ZaragozaDpto.
